The Padres return home from a 3-4 road trip to host two division leaders – Atlanta of the National League East and Arizona of the N.L. West. The Padres will be facing the Braves for the first time this season. They were 3-4 Atlanta last season with the Padres winning two of three games played at Petco Park. Atlanta is led by first baseman Freddie Freeman (.315, six homers, 43 RBIs), rookie catcher Evan Gattis (.258-13-34), sibling outfielders B.J. (.158-6-12) and Justin Upton (.247-14-29) and second baseman Dan Uggla (.193-13-27).

Teheran, 22, flirted with a no-hitter in his last start and allowed one hit and two walks with 11 strikeouts over eight shutout innings against Pittsburgh. He has allowed one or no runs in three of his last four starts. The Colombian made his major league debut at the age of 20 and is 5-3 with a 3.80 ERA in 18 games (15 starts) over parts of three seasons. This will be his 12th start of the season and his first appearance ever against the Padres.

Former Brave Marquis, 34, is 3-5 during his career against his old team with a 7.69 ERA in nine starts. He is 4-1 at Petco Park this season with a 3.89 ERA in seven starts and has a career record of 9-7 at Petco Park with a 3.50 ERA in 20 starts. The Padres are 8-4 in Marquis’s 12 starts this season. He is 6-0 with a 3.28 ERA over his last eight starts with the Padres going 7-1 in those games. His six-game winning streak is his longest since the 2006 season. Marquis was the Braves’ first-round draft pick in 1996.
